Every successful person has experienced self-doubt at some point after being criticized by others.
Even Stephen King.
After a high school teacher told him he was wasting his time with writing, he went into a funk and felt like quitting.
He said the following in his excellent book, "On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft":
"I have spent a good many years ... being ashamed about what I write. I think I was forty before I realized that almost every writer of fiction and poetry who has ever published a line has been accused by someone of wasting his or her God-given talents. If you write (or paint or dance or sculpt or sing, I suppose) someone will try to make you feel lousy about it, that's all. I'm not editorializing, just trying to give you the facts as I see them ..."
King bounced back and has gone on to write 82 books and become one of the most prolific fiction writers of our time ... not bad!
